Super Easy Ground Beef Recipes

As, I mentioned this cheeseburger pasta skillet is super easy! It’s made all in one pot and requires you to only chop an onion. See super easy!

Plus, it’s one of the most kid-friendly meals out there. I know my kids love it when I make it and I often double the recipe. If you do just use a pot instead of a skillet to hold everything. Trust me!

Keep this recipe in your back pocket for those crazy nights you need dinner on the table fast. Plus, it’s made with mostly pantry staples so it’s a great one for those nights you forgot to plan dinner!

Plus, it makes great leftovers. I will often send my kids to school with a thermos full of one of my pasta skillets.

And you can also sneak in all sorts of extra veggies! I often shred zucchini and stir in while browning the ground beef and no one ever complains. Even my husband!

Some other veggies you could disguise in here are bell pepper, squash, carrots, even spinach. Just chop small enough to blend in and most will just think it’s seasonings. #momhack
